According to the currently accepted cohesion-tension theory, water is pulled there The pull on a rising column of water in a plant results from the evaporation of water at the top of the plant As water is lost from the surface of the leaves a negative pressure or tension is created The evaporated water is replaced by water moving from inside the plant in unbroken columns that extend from the top of a plant to its roots The same forces that create surface tension in any sample of water are responsible for the maintenance of these unbroken columns of water When water is confined in tubes of very small bore, the forces of cohesion (the attraction between water molecules) are so great that the strength of a column of water compares with the strength of a steel wire of the same diameter This cohesive strength permits columns of water to be pulled to great heights without being broken Question 36: The passage answers which of the following questions ? A What is the effect of atmospheric pressure on foliage? B When dead cells harm plant growth? C How does water get to the tops of trees? D Why is root pressure weak? Question 37: How botanists know that root pressure is not the only force that moves water in plants? A Some very tall trees have weak root pressure B Root pressures decrease in winter C Plants can live after their roots die D Water in a plant's roots is not connected to water in its stem Question 38: Which of the following statements does the passage support? A Water is pushed to the tops of trees B Botanists have proven that living cells act as pumps C Atmospheric pressure draws water to the tops of tall trees D Botanists have changed their theories of how water moves in plants Question 39: The word there in paragraph refers to _ A treetops B roots C water columns D tubes Question 40: What causes the tension that draws water up a plant?

A To illustrate another means of pulling water B To demonstrate why wood is a good building material C To indicate the size of a column of winter D To emphasize the strength of cohesive forces in water Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B , C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions There are few things in life as refreshing as a cup of hot tea However, few people realize the wide variety of teas available Here are some more options to try the next time you are in the mood Page | for a cup of tea The most famous tea in the West is Earl Grey Although it is classified as a black tea, Earl Grey contains some citrus qualities as well The tea gets its name from a 19 th century prime minister of England, Charles Grey According to the legend, Grey saved the life of a drowning man in China The man he rescued was reportedly a tea blender, so as a reward he instructed Grey how to flavour black tea with a special type of oil Many tea historians doubt this tale and insist that the only reason the tea is named after Grey is that he was a famous politician Another famous black tea is Assam tea It comes from the mountains of India and it is named after the region where it is produced Assam tea is known for its strong and bitter flavour It is sometimes called the breakfast tea, because it is an invigorating brew to enjoy in the morning Although Assam tea is cultivated in the East, it immediately became a big hit once it was introduced to the West Some people enjoy drinking Assam tea straight, but others feel it is best with a little bit of milk and sugar added It has been known to go perfectly with sweets as well as more pungent foods like cheese Chamomile tea has a light, pleasant taste that some people have described as a mix between flowers, herbs, and apples Yet, it is the potent health benefits of the tea that cause most people to buy it For starters, it is the best tea to have at the end of a long day when you are looking to relax In fact, it has been used as a cure for insomnia for hundreds of years In ancient times, it was also used by the Romans, Greeks, and Egyptians to help wounds heal faster Chamomile has antiinflammation properties, so it can also help to clear up skin issues such as allergies and acne as well So the next time you are sitting down for afternoon tea, be sure to have a close look at the menu You may even discover a new variety that becomes your favourite Question 43 What is the passage mainly about?
